Abstract: In military propulsion applications, the characterization of internal combustion engines operating with jet fuel is vital to understand engine performance, combustion phasing, and emissions when JP8 is fully substituted ...

Abstract: Dilute combustion is an effective approach to increase the thermal efficiency of sparkignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICEs). However, high dilution levels typically result in large cycletocycle variations (CCV) ...

Abstract: This study describes the use of an analytical model, constructed using sequential design of experiments (DOEs), to optimize and quantify the uncertainty of a diesel engine operating point. A genetic algorithm (GA) was also ...

Abstract: With the heightened pressure on car manufacturers to increase the efficiency and reduce the carbon emissions of their fleets, more challenging engine operation has become a viable option. Highly dilute, boosted, and ...

Abstract: This work evaluates different optimization algorithms for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of engine combustion. Due to the computational expense of CFD simulations, emulators built with machine learning ...
